Yeah no cupcake like georgia has had the last two years, west teams I mean. LSU and Florida back to back really delt us a blow physically. If those games were separated by an out of conference game or bye week then we may still have lost to LSU but we would not have lost to florida, at least not the manner in which we lost it. LSU knocked us around. Playing teams like that on the road back to back would be difficult for any team, even the perceived powerhouses.

Here are all of the defenses Connor has faced over the last two seasons, ranked in order by their pass efficiency rating. Underneath, they are sorted by year with each team's national ranking in parentheses.

The whole playing injured thing is getting a bit tired. Either you are well enough to play and you play your best. Or you are injured and you recognize that it affects your ability to perform, you rest up/ heal and give someone else a shot.

This is not a shot at Connor. He played well. He played about the same as he did last year. He has happy feet and does not like to throw the designed play, Spurrier has said as much. Whether he was injured or not does not change that. He did it last year as well.

And this is no shot at Dylan, but he beat ECU, uab and the tiggers? (Think those were the games) Those defenses aren't great. What does Connor have to do to earn the start, look better while beating top 10 teams?

Againt vandy... kentucky.. uab first half.. wofford... why did connor not perform up to DT stats those are comparable teams

Well it seems like the discussion has taken a turn toward a Connor vs DT as well as a Connor's numbers on the road were bad because he play tough teams. Here is the comparison between the with as well as a look at how they played against ranked (better) teams.Overall (TD:INT):Connor: 2.1:1DT: 4:1Ranked vs Unranked (TD:INT) 2012Connor: 2:1 (ranked) 2.2:1 (unranked) Difference +0.2DT: 1.5:1 (ranked) 5:0 (unranked) Difference +3.5

My intent was not to say Thompson over Shaw. It was just that the injury excuse only plays so far. Either play or don't but it's a crutch that people use to excuse poor performance. The truth is that it hardly mattered because he would scramble and rush.

I don't know how to measure who was better. The both had great games and they both had sub stellar performances. But I will say I watching Connor play is fun.

As far as the Top 10 team thing, yes he played great against UGA. LSU he was good. UF... Three weeks straight, sure. But it was a decreasing trend.
